Dr. Steven Mermelstein is an exceptional podiatrist. He is professional, knowledgeable, and truly cares about his patients. He takes the time to listen, thoroughly explain diagnoses and treatment options, and ensures you feel comfortable every step of the way. The office is clean and well-organized, and the staff is always friendly, welcoming, and efficient. Appointments run smoothly, and the level of care is consistently outstanding. It’s rare to find a doctor who combines expertise with such genuine compassion. I highly recommend Dr. Mermelstein to anyone looking for excellent foot and ankle care. Five stars all around!

I was seen by Dr Mermelstein and incorrectly diagnosed as having a fracture of my big toe. After being in a surgical shoe and then boot for over 8 weeks and being told to stay in it for another month as it wasn’t showing as healed on X-ray, I decided to get a second opinion at The Hospital for Special Surgery. An X-ray was done there and I was told I did not have a fracture and actually had arthritis in my big toe - which is a completely different treatment course. This was also confirmed by MRI. I’m now attending physical therapy to correct the consequences of being unnecessarily immobilized for so long. If you’re not improving, don’t hesitate to get a second opinion. I regret that I waited so long to be properly diagnosed.
